This movie is a waste of excellent actors. Movie starts out OK but story and direction are poor. Use of poor lighting is likely deliberate but makes the whole movie feel even slower and shadier. It starts out OK with hopes raised due to a different subject from the usual good vs evil struggle. There is even an attempt to develop different characters and make some of them edgier with the addition of drugs, debts etc. But the movie starts drifting soon - like a boat without a captain on waves. Screenplay and direction are two key weak points. There is almost nothing to mitigate the poor direction. Even top notch actors are unable to rescue the movie.

I beg to differ from the negative reviews. It may be a copy of 21. But I kept an open mind when I watched it. Yes, even though its a copy the actors were really good. The debut artists particularly were awesome. How can you not give them the credits for acting so good?? Yes I guessed the ending way before, but it does not take away the fact that the acting was superb and I personally enjoyed the movie. Good movie with a good underlying message to it. I don't know why people would give bad ratings to this movie...there are many cheap comedy flicks which pass the box office with positive reviews and higher ratings. If you are into serious movies, not expecting slapstick comedy...then yes this movie can be for you...Give it a try with an open mind.

Too bad.. That's it. Poor performance Poor Script Please watch movie 21. Try to understand the difference. I watched 21 and it's a great movie Now Bollywood is trying to copy, This is lack of creativity. I was so disappointed by watching this. Don't waste your time to watch this. It was quite surprising to see the way Ben was introduced to the audiences and also the strange kind of dialogues filmed on him, dubbed in the voice of Boman Irani. No doubt Ben looks great on the screen and excels in his short cameo, but was his inclusion in the movie required at all in the first place. Any other English actor could have easily done the job as it was not that important for the movie. But the makers called him in only to increase the face value of their project and nothing else. In straight words, Sir Ben Kingsley is simply wasted in the movie and the director simply misses the great opportunity she was given to work with.

Teen Patti is a complete disaster. There is no coherence and most of the scenes were just shot without having any context and meaning. There were some characters (Bikram's roommate, Ben Kingsley) who didn't have any reason to be part of this movie.The basic theme of the movie itself is technically flawed. Teen Patti is a game where maths cannot play any role in increasing your winning probability to more than 50% as opposed to Black Jack where card counting can increase your winning probability to more than 50%.The director didn't trust the intelligence of the audience enough to find it necessary to explain Professor Venkat's game strategy. There so many loose ends in the movie for which no explanation was offered as to the how's and why's behind Sid's money being stolen (the red bag of money) and placed in Bikram's room. The kidnap plot was very comical.I would rate 'Neal n Nikki', 'Home Delivery', 'Kisna' much better than this movie :)
